Horse called Good Prospect (UK)

Hello. I'm looking for the sire & dam of a steeplechaser from the UK called "Good Prospect." He was probably born around 1970/72 since there is a record of him winning at Cheltenham in 1976. He was owned & jumped briefly in the early 1980's by Prince Charles & is not in our Thoroughbred Database. Thanks for the help! (PS. I put this message in Pedigree too but thought I'd post it here as well!)

It isn't this one?

An article from 1981 lists Prince Charles' mount as a '12 year old brown gelding'....the age & color fits.

Thanks, Lucy. You're right. This is likely the one. I thought he was likely to be born more in the early 1970's because I found a reference about him from 1976 & 1981. But in neither case was his age given. But this is terrific & many thanks!!! Abigail
